The first step in using email, is to create an email account. To create an email account you will need to use cPanel.

  1. Log into cPanel
  2. Once logged into cpanel, click on the "Email Accounts" located in the Mail section of cPanel
  3. cpanel-email

  4. That will open a screen so you can create a new email address. You should see the below screenshot.
    Email: This is the name of the account. This will be before the @ symbol in the email address.
    Password: This is the password you assign to the email account.
    Password (again): Re-type the password
    Mailbox Quota: Select the size of the mailbox you want to create.
  5. cPanel-add-email

    Once you have entered in all the information in the fields. Click the button labeled "Create Account"

  6. Once the account has been created, you will see the following screen to verify the account was created.
  7. cPanel-account-created
